Huckabee Attack Ad Runs Anyway. What a liar
I didn't think it was possible someone could be more dishonest than Romney.

http://www.newsweek.com/id/83514

His attack ad appears on three Iowa stations.

By Brooks Jackson | factcheck.org
Jan 3, 2008


The ad Huckabee said he decided not to run has now appeared at least three times in Iowa anyway. It accuses Romney of being "dishonest" but shades the facts in the process.

<snip>

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee raised eyebrows Dec. 31 when he told reporters at a news conference that he had decided not to run an attack ad calling rival Mitt Romney "dishonest," then ran it in front of reporters and TV cameras anyway. Now it turns out that the ad actually appeared on at least three Iowa TV stations that same day.

HUCKABEE ------

1. More Like Charlatan
This con man played the corporate media like a violin...wanted the spot to run far and wide but not on his dime, called this sham conference, did the rope-a-dope and that ad was run all over the country on all the cable networks. A clever trick by the latest incarnation of Elmer Gantry...and not the first time he's pulled this shit.

He's slick...has you watch the right hand and the left picks your pocket. Charms ya with the "awww shucks", but slimes with the best of 'em. He's everything Mittens wishes he could be.

3. Yeah. Huckabee's a cross between Elmer Gantry and Elmer Fudd, heavy
on the Fudd.

4. Well now, be nice
You can't expect an ordained minister to remember all ten of those commandments, and what does it really mean not to bear false witness?
